Last Saturday proved to be a day

people. l.. S. Richardson was hit
with base ball on one of his limbs,
in the morning, which rendered him

Jams machine shop, also had his limbs
badly injured while helping to unload

The Glorious Fourth passed off
very quietly at this place. No dem
onstration of any sort was made, ex-
cepting salutes, which were fired at
sunrise, noon and sunset. We saw,
comparatively few people passing,
not as many us we often see on other
days. We are informed, however,
that there was crowd at Lowell
Lake. The day was fine as possible
though very warm, with not even the
traditional thunder shower to cool the
air; but when the sun had paid his
parting salute and gone to his rest, i
, seemed more comfortable. The eve
ming was beautiful as one could wisl
and nearly as light as day, such love
ly illuminated scenery is seldom seen
The silvery moonbeams skimmere(
and danced over the trees and ever,
object within their reach, till on
could but look with admiration, ant
almost wish that it mightlast forever
